2 Long Go's, a short go and a buy back round.....
Long Go Race Format (First Go and Second Go)
The two qualifying rounds will be 5D format with 1⁄2 second splits. Fifteen (15) different horse/ rider combinations from each of the five (5) divisions of the two (2) qualifying rounds will qualify for the Short Go. A contestant can qualify on unlimited horses for the Short Go round. Each horse/rider combination may qualify for only one Short Go round position. The running order for the 2nd Go will be reverse order of the 1st Go.
Contestants do not have to run in both Goes but will still pay the $165 entry fee.
Short Go Round
From the First Go (Friday): the top 15 fastest times in each D qualify for the Short Go round. From the Second Go (Saturday): the top 15 fastest times in each D qualify for the Short Go round.
• If one of the horse/rider combinations in the top 15 were already qualified from round one, then that combination cannot qualify again in round 2.
• Duplicate qualifying combinations from the round 2 qualifiers will be dropped, and the next fastest combination in that D will fill the position. This will continue until all 15 qualifying positions in round two are filled OR until there are no more contestants in the corresponding D to fill the qualifying positions – whichever comes first.
• If there is a tie for the fastest time in the top 15, all ties will qualify for the Short Go round up until the fastest 15 times. Should 15th place have one or more ties, all qualifying ties in 15th place will advance to the Short Go round.
• If there are not 30 horse/rider combinations from each qualifying round (15 from the First Go and 15 from the Second Go), we will not fill the remaining positions.
• The time in which a contestant qualifies for the Short Go round will determine the contestant’s position in the Short Go draw order. Short Go will run slowest time to fastest times.
• Each contestant is responsible for acquiring Short Go round qualification status. Reflection Arena is not liable to inform you of Short Go round positions. Qualifiers will be posted onsite and on Facebook.
